Extract text from SSTV images and videos (MMV)
To convert MMV media files to another format, you need MMSSTV or other Video software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Video or Image" file type, you need software like MMSSTV or a similar tool.
The .mmv extension represents a highly fragmented and problematic file type used by multiple unrelated systems. Its most common use is as a Slow Scan Television (SSTV) image generated by MMSSTV, a popular ham radio application developed by Makoto Mori. However, .MMV is also heavily utilized for proprietary video recordings. Microsoft Windows Movie Maker created .MMV cache and project files, while hardware manufacturers like Sony (MicroMV format), Sino Wealth Microelectronics, and MicroDigital use it for raw security DVR or pocket camera video files. Additionally, Mindjet MindManager uses .mmv as a proprietary mind map viewer file.
Because it lacks a standard encoding, opening an .MMV file is a notoriously difficult task. Standard media players will almost always reject it. Proprietary DVR video files are often encrypted or use custom hardware codecs that lock you out unless you have the original, clunky surveillance playback software. Movie Maker cache files are entirely obsolete, and native MMSSTV images cannot be viewed in standard web browsers.
To make these files usable, you must convert them. For video files, convert the .MMV to MP4 or AVI to guarantee universal playback on modern devices and allow for web uploads. If the file is an SSTV image, convert to PNG or JPG for easy sharing and web publishing. For MindManager view files, convert to PDF to ensure readable, long-term archiving without requiring a paid software subscription.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our MMV converter.
